II is q shock to all ctr youthful prcju-
dices. but it is undoubtedly fact, that
the Dayy lamp no longer figures among
the safety apparatus Of cur mines. The
recent mines regulation act settles that
point. An alteration made in the bill
when 1t was before the house Of lords left
us doubtful whether tie Davy lamp had
been finally condemned; but Mr.. A. II.
Stokes, one of the government inspectors,
has declared iii round terms before the
Chesterfield and Midland Counties Insti-
tuition of Engineers that the lamp Ii
doomed. At the same meeting the faint
praise was heard Of the lamp that in a
mine where only candles had been pre-
viously employed it might be used to ex-
anime the workings for gas; but, as the
royal commission had held that the lamp
is unsafe in current with velocity Of
six feet per second, Mr.. Stokes thinks
that it is excluded from mines by the
fact that the combined rate of the miners
walk and the ventilation of the mine will
constitute at least that rate Of speed in
the air passing the lamp. He adds his
evidence that explosions have been caused
and men killed in consequence of the use
of the Dayy lamp. The discovery is use

regard to ornaments fastened to parts OF

the ear must be bored, the nose be
pierced, the checks or lips be slit, and,
even after these surgical operations are
completed, the articles used for adorn-
ment are generally inconvenient, and
sometimes. by their weight or construe-

Iii striking contrast with decorations
worn on the clothing, in the hair, round

model of convenience. It is seldom lost,

Dangers OF Keeping tho Windows OF .

There are doctors who tell us that we

damp or how stormy the weather may

insist that all the windows in bedroom

keep the window open when We are up
